Yeah.

You can't throw babywipes into the toilet. We've used babywipes all my life, and we found out the hard way they have a habbit of clogging toilets.

We just throw them into the waste basket. Of course, if you ONLY use wipes, and no toilet paper... that could be pretty nasty. We use toilet paper first, and then wipes.. so there is barely anything on the wipe, it doesen't stink or anything.

Hmmm this baby wipe phenomenon is new to me. I didn't know people used them.
